This amount of ingredients is perfect if you use a baking pan with a diameter of 20-21 cm.

Half an hour before cooking, eggs should be taken out of the refrigerator so that they are at room temperature.

The whites must be separated from the yolks. They must be beaten separately.

Well-beaten eggs are the main secret of a fluffy and elastic sponge cake.

Flour should be sifted before adding to the dough.

The biscuit should be baked in a preheated oven.

Once the workpiece is in the oven, you should be patient and not open the door for the first 20 minutes, otherwise the temperature difference will cause the biscuit to fall.

If you follow these simple recommendations, your homemade baked goods will be delicious, aromatic and fluffy.
